On Macs, it was just a download and play situation. I bought it a long time ago ( seems like it was maybe 40 or 60 dollars back when I bought it and it has worked for years and years, so no complaint about that price) and it still does the job even on the Silicon Mac chips. Logitech Media...

For me, it made a big difference for the better. My room is challenging with vaulted ceiling and other issues, so maybe the worse the room, the better the improvement? I did use the MultEQ app to make some recommended tweaks after the fact and they seemed to help. I think I got those tweaks...

Dylan concert by Derek, on Flickr We went out to see Bob Dylan at the Orpheum Theater here in Memphis last night. I shot the pic when we got home. It’s been a while since I have been to that venue, but now they make you put your phone in a pouch they lock up and give back to. I didn’t give...

I use the Amazon iOS app with Wiim and it works fine. The Wiim in app version of Amazon has limited search functions.

I actually have a small Olympus EPL-5 with a 20mm around here that I haven't touched in years. If it still works, I may bring that. I have the Sony A7 RIII, which is smaller than my older Canon DSLRs, but probably too noticeable for this kind of event. We will see. I will shoot Raw with the...

There is an architecture firm in Memphis that hosts an artist (or multiple artists) once a month. She has May, so will definitely get photos, but may use the iPhone, since people seem to get more antsy with a big camera in the room.

I developed some bad habits over the pandemic years, so maybe some of this discussion will get me back out again. It will probably be May before we have time (the wife has an exhibit coming with all over her recent paintings, so we have to do a lot to get everything ready), but my goal is to...

I had Affinity Photo (the first version). I went ahead and got version 2 for the iPad. I guess this is one way around the subscription model, just release new versions and charge for them. It was 12.99, so I can live with it and it looks to be able to do anything I want it to do on the iPad...

I have Affinity, Pixelmator (Pro on Mac), Luminar and maybe a couple more I was using on the side with Photoshop ( when I was using the Mac more often for photos). I have the iPad app on the first two listed already. I have used them sparingly, but they are there if I want to do more...

i could have lived without Nitro, but want ahead and ordered it since it seems like he is spending his time going that route. Nitro isn’t out on iOS yet, which is why I got Raw Power… also I have an old Macbook and it doesn't run Nitro . I think they gave me a twenty dollar discount for...

No, usually revisit the same old forum areas I usually frequent, then see if favorite threads got bumped and if not, look at the stuff near the top. Works for me… nothing going on, I will check out a less frequently visited forum section.

I saw this app mentioned on a recent MacBreak Weekly podcast. It looks very interesting for fixing some of those old photos that go cropped down to nothing for the internet back in the day. Amazing and kind of scary where things are heading on the AI front.

I went ahead and cancelled the photography plan on Adobe. They did offer a $5 a month discount if I kept it, so something to think about for those currently paying. I went ahead and ordered the Raw Photo and Nitro programs. Nitro was $79 and Raw was $39. I messed around with both and either...

I have Affinity and Pixelmator pro and some other assorted apps on my computer, but have been falling back to Photoshop since it's the most familiar. However, the fee no longer makes sense with so many of the photos I take never being edited on a computer these days. Would rather pay one fee...

I looked into this and they now also have something called Nitro. I wonder if it is a necessity. It costs quite a bit more ($99 for a lifetime license), but it might be worth it if they update it more often than RAW. I guess I will check out some Youtube reviews. Edit = Will probably buy...

With fur babies by Derek, on Flickr

It is hard to even put them in the same conversation as “procurement”. When you stop paying a monthly fee, you lose that music until you pay again… unless you are using a freemium service. When I think of procurement, I think of stuff I have access to without ever paying another fee. That...

This is probably why they supply it at the office.

I had a Saeco brand of the “Super Automated” espresso maker, but got rid of it when I got the Breville ( both test units, so they cost me the taxes on the value.. minus expenses) to test if people wonder why I had both. I preferred the ease of use of the Saeco, but the wife ( girlfriend at the...

Interesting, I haven’t tried their Rossa blend, but will give it a try when we run out of our current stash. We mainly use Super Crema Lavazza. We don’t use sweeteners but I have some monk fruit around if needed. I was using a combination of Almond milk and heavy cream for a long while in...

I have a Breville Espresso machine we both love. I usually have one double Espresso during the weekdays and a cappuccino ( or another frosty option) on weekends if I have time. I had a pretty decent automatic drip prior to the Breville but my wife couldn’t get used to its taste after coming...
